In 2005, Larry Summers, former president of Harvard University, sparked an outcry when her suggested that women might not be as innately gifted in science and math as men. Since then, the news media have attacked this issue over and over, but with no real answers or explanations. Finally, Who's Afraid of Marie Curie? does just that. Author Linley Erin Hall interviewed more than 100 women of all ages, seeking to uncover what sparked their interest in science, what experiences they've had in their careers, and, in some cases, why they chose to leave their fields. Written in accessible language rather than scholarly jargon, Who's Afraid of Marie Curie? explores the complex world of women in science and technology.
